I’ve spent the whole day with a splitting headache. An afternoon nap and 2 Crocin later I am none the better. I just discovered Ro’s stash of Vicks in the bathroom and have slathered my face in it hoping that the burning sensation would provide a few precious minutes of distracton from the pounding in my head. So far it’s working, so let me share whatever bloggable news I have. (There is no unbloggable news but it sounds better)
Ro and I finally decided that we are going to have the baby in South Bend. In the end although I would have preferred to move to Chicago at least a couple of weeks before the baby and before Ro starts work, it just works out better to have the baby here and make my mother make the tough decisions of whether or not to throw away the fake butterflies I have been hoarding from a baby shower I threw months ago or are those sheets too faded and will I ever wear those pants again?
I am simeltaneously dreading and not able to bear the wait for my mom to come. She’s going to be here for 2 or 3 months telling me the best way to do everything. I love my mom, I do, I swear! but I know I am going to have at least one big fight with her. Then after she leaves my mother in law gets here. I know I’m not going to fight with her but that’s really no credit to me. And then; my sister in law has offered to come. Of all the offers I have this is the least certain and I think the one with the least pressure. Hopefully I won’t have to be alone with Baby Aditi until she’s at least 9 months old. She should be crawling by then.
Thank God for loving (and bossy) Indian families.
